Your daily table
A few details help explain this feature. Daily Challenge on contraem.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.
When a new day begins
A few details help explain this feature. Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals. This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal.
The same daily start
A few details help explain this feature. Different suit settings are separate daily challenges. The challenge date and selected suit count determine the starting shuffle. The daily shuffle is not selected from the verified winning-deal collection. Loading the same date and suit count reproduces that starting layout.
Complete eight runs
The following details apply here. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards. A full face-up sequence is collected automatically at the bottom of a column. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run. Clear eight same-suit sequences from King down to Ace to win.
Standard Spider movement
A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it. A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit. An empty column accepts any legal movable group.
Use the stock
Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns. Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock. New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock.
Saving today's progress
The following details apply here. Returning to the same challenge can restore that saved position. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting. Loading a new day's challenge replaces the saved daily position for that suit setting.
A new challenge is available
Here are the details for this mode. The Today's challenge control loads the current day's deal. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing. Completing an older open game records the date attached to that game. An open daily game checks periodically for a changed challenge date while the page is visible.
Your local record
A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history. My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion.
Options for another attempt
A few details help explain this feature. Undo can reverse a successful card move or a stock deal while history is available. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution. Replay starts the same daily layout again. Hints offer legal moves without guaranteeing a route to victory.
